CHAPTER 303 (2/2)

Yan Zhe opened his mouth. “Well, Old Jiang might be that type of person but he really fought for us.”

The feelings were mutually beneficially. If Jiang Xie hadn’t treated them with all his heart then they wouldn’t trust him so much.

Xie Xi’s chest was hot and he really longed for Jiang Xie, this bad but gentle man.

Yan Zhe’s group disappeared in front of him and Xie Xi strode out of the temple.

It was sunny outside. The battle was over and there was no blood on the open field. There wasn’t even a trace left of themain gods.

The others had long since fled, leaving only the six star signs standing there.

Xie Xi saw the black-winged Capricorn and the adult Libra in giant dragon form. He saw the eye-catching and handsome red-haired Sagittarius, the nimble Aquarius, Pisces with his long hair to the ground and Scorpio with his huge scythe behind him.

All six of them were watching him. They were different people but at this moment, they all had the same line of sight. They were all happy and contented because they had protected their god.

Xie Xi’s nose was sour and his eyes were hot as he said, “It was hard on you.”

Xie Xi left the quasi-world and woke up again in the rose garden.

He looked at the 12 Jiang Xies in the garden and was startled…

It wasn’t over yet? He thought he would go straight back to Central.

Then the man closest to him moved.

Xie Xi just wanted to turn around when the person behind him hugged him, cool lips against his neck. “Master, I am hungry.”

He deliberately used Sagittarius’ tone but Xie Xi was clear about the identity. “If you’re hungry then starve!”

Jiang Xie’s eyes were full of laughter as he stated, “Cruel child.”

Xie Xi looked up and his eyes suddenly filled with tears. He tightly held onto Xie Xi.

Jiang Xie asked him, “What happened?”

Xie Xi didn’t know what to say. There was so much stuff in his chest that he couldn’t tell what was going on.

Jiang Xie had the memories of six star signs and could guess.

He asked, “Did Yan Zhe have a big mouth again?”

Xie Xi was silent.

Jiang Xie sighed. “What did you and Old N talk about?”

Xie Xi released him and seriously asked, “What did you see when you touched the centre?”

These things were so long ago that Jiang Xie had almost forgotten. What did he see…

As N stated, he saw countless things but also seemed to see only one point. There were thousands of worlds but in the end, there was only a small person. The man who took him off the island.

Jiang Xie sighed. “…I saw you.”

Xie Xi stared at him. “I don’t understand.”

Jiang Xie leaned down towards him and asked, “Do you understand time?”

Xie Xi didn’t know how to answer. He said he understood but he didn’t understand.

Jiang Xie told him that time was created by humanity. Whether it existed or not was undetermined.

Xie Xi didn’t make a sound and Jiang Xie added, “The passage of time is when we become old, sick and die.”

He continued, “Of course, you can also interpret it as the state of heat flowing.”

For example, a piece of paper was ignited, turned into ashes and could no longer be changed back to paper. Time passed for a person from young to old until they finally died.

How could time be defined at Central? Players didn’t become older and paper that turned into ashes could change back to paper.

The reference for time was lost. Xie Xi could understand this but he didn’t understand.

Jiang Xie smiled and continued, “The moment I touched the centre, I saw the future.”

Xie Xi’s eyes widened. “What does that mean?”

Did Jiang Xie know everything that happened so far?

Jiang Xie knew what he was thinking and comforted him. “My future had countless possibilities and I saw countless endings. I finally decided on a new one.”

Xie Xi understood a bit. “Your saying… your future…” Many of them didn’t have him.

He couldn’t say this.

Jiang Xie kissed the tip of his nose. “You are the one I desire most.”

He would pay any price for this.

Xie Xi couldn’t recover for a long time.

Jiang Xie embraced him, “Don’t think too much. Time doesn’t exist and the future is now.”

Jiang Xie touched the centre and saw countless things, giving up countless things.

He saw what the future held. What did it matter where he was standing or where he was in time? He only wanted what he wanted, a future with Xie Xi.

No. In fact, there was no future because every moment was now.

As long as he stepped on this point, there was nothing to fear, even if there was infinite emptiness around him.

Xie Xi understood a bit. “You gave up on the known future and chose the most difficult path?”

“I finally met you.”

Jiang Xie’s luck was very poor and he often wandered on the edge of life and death because he avoided the established future, avoided the way ahead and embarked on the most thorny road to the complete unknown.

It was because at the end of the road was a beautiful rose garden where the future he most desired was standing.

It was now—embracing Xie Xi.
